6/10 Good

Boutique hotel, but guest services need upgrades.
Immaculately maintained property and grounds with nice gathering places in the courtyard. Our room was very attractively decorated and extremely clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! Location of the property is nice, right in the historic district of Wilmington. There is no parking, valet only, not a problem for us but could be for some people. However, the room was very small, with limited areas to place belongings for our party of two, plus a small dog. Also, we would have appreciated having water glasses (fancy designer water is provided, but no glasses to drink from). We were on the ground floor (convenient for dog walks) but experienced almost constant and disruptive noise from overhead. If you stay here, make sure it's on an upper floor. Also, we were promised by a staff member a room freshening after our first night (assumed this is clean towels, trash emptied, bed straightened). We left for six hours and upon our return, our room was not "freshened" at all. Not acceptable! We would have loved complimentary early a.m. coffee/tea to take back to our room. You can buy expensive hot drinks at the restaurant but not until after 7 a.m. The restaurant staff seems to arrive at 7 also, so the service is slow because they are just getting things ready. All in all, a nice boutique hotel, but more attention should be paid to guest comfort and service and less on trying to up-charge on "extras" that should really be part of the service.

Great place to stay with lots of character
The room was beautifully done and very clean. Loved how they stayed true to the history in the design. The bed was comfortable & the linens did not have that bleached out smell to them. They had a nice, light herbal smell which was very comforting. We did have to wait past 3 pm to check-in but enjoyed hanging out with Adriel at the Gazebo Bar. He was very friendly and did an awesome job with the drinks. Once our room was ready, Tylor came out to us at the bar to let us know. He even stopped by to speak with us the next day. Great customer service by both making us feel welcome and appreciated for staying at Arrive. A few things that would be nice are to incorporate a microwave & coffee pot in the room and have a designated parking spot to use for check-in since there is no free parking on the premises. A few of the local restaurants have servings that are way more than you can eat at one sitting and it would be nice to be able to heat the leftovers for a snack later. A place to park for check-in would be nice so you can decide if you want to use the parking lot diagonally across the street or a block & half down in the parking garage. It would give you also the opportunity to unload your bags to the room before parking. These are small things that can go a long way for guests. The outdoor area was so calming and cozy with the individual firepits to sit around. Overall, our stay at Arrive was wonderful and I would definitely stay there again upon returning to Wilmington.
